Mediocre to terrible food. The popcorn chicken is dry and way, way too salty. The cart noodle is meh, along with everything on the noodle. Curry fishballs doesn't have strong enough curry, the beef ball doesn't have a strong enough beef flavor, the veggie has sand in it, etc.All the atmosphere and none of the flavors.

Took 50 minutes to get some shumai that was not even good at all. The interior wasn't anything special as we just sitting on plastic chairs waiting almost a hour to get our food. Everything we ordered was not very good sadly, the menu is large and way the place is set up is pretty fun however.

The small car noodle is good. The soup base is tasteful and you can pick your own items on top.

I was craving some really authentic, hole-in-the-wall Chinese food, but my husband found The Night Market on Yelp and wanted to try it. The street food/night market concept is really trendy right now, and I'm sure during the evening and with the right crowd this place would be amazing. During the day the vibe just hits different. The place was pretty empty except for one other couple. They were literally only 3 workers. A young lady who took our order and 2 guys that cooked our food. The menus are on the wall and you place your order with the person in the green booth, then sit down and wait for them to call you once your food is ready. The tables are small and the chairs are uncomfortable, but I guess that is what you would get at an actual night market. The food was terrific. Probably the best Shrimp with Eggs I've ever had. The eggs were so velvety smooth and I loved the addition of peas. The HK Fried Noodles were delicious too. I'd be curious to see if this place is more popular during the evening hours.

You have to come and try this restaurant in South San Francisco that mimics an Asian night market!There is so much food to choose from plus you get a free jasmine tea with Yelp check in!The food here was delicious. Good hearty Chinese comfort food. My favorite was probably the fried chicken skin that were perfectly crispy and the soft egg on the delicious beef over rice. The chicken skin had a fine covering of salted egg that added the salty punch to the fattiness of the skin.The soup noodles were classic Chinese soup noodles and you could add whatever toppings you preferred, nothing crazy unique, but perfect on a cold and foggy day. The lightly roasted with salt skewers were fun to try and cheap to boot. Would want to try more different meats than just the intestine.I would love to come back to try all the other options too. Bring a ton of friends so you can try more!The vibe tries to match that sitting on a plastic stool while watching street vendors cook scene at night markets. I enjoyed watching them put together my soup noodles but would love to see them cook more items out in the open. I'm hoping this post helps to bring them more business so they can afford to have more workers cooking out front!

This place looks like the night market in Hong Kong. Especially the feeling of this place.The food was nowhere near any markets in Hong Kong. The price was not worth it.If not for my brother, would not have known about this place.Not recommended by this person who has eaten lots of Chinese food in Hong Kong.

The service was inefficient and disorganized, and the food was mediocre. You have to keep checking if your food is ready because they don't call out your name or bring it to you.Parking: There's a small parking lot.

Tries to replicate Hong Kong style street eats on the Peninsula and, if not quite succeeding, gets close enough to be a solid option with enough variety to be worth a stop.Roast pork used to be better, but it's enough to not complain too much given the area.
Food was okay. Very reminiscent of the night markets in Taiwan. We ordered the R1: Boneless Roast Duck with rice and duck egg (tasty), R13: Longan Crispy Pork w/rice (a bit too sweet and soggy rather than crispy), Congee with pickled cucumber, preserved egg and minced pork (my mother in law said it was good), and R7 Minced Beef with soft egg over rice (wife enjoyed it). The negative is that we arrived at 2pm on Saturday and there were not many customers but the food took about 25 minutes to come out. I can only imagine how long it might take on a weekday lunch. Hopefully, they are better staffed during the busy times.Ambiance is bare bone with plastic tables and chairs.

Solid variety of what's basically Cantonese cafeteria food. Spread is very acceptable but a little less broad than the OG stuff you'd find at many Hong Kong cafes, and the quality, well, matches the atmosphere.Service is decently fast and the vibe is like a hawker centre but not quite one, and definitely not the scale. Plus parking is almost decent.

Great concept for a HongKong style food market. Pretty confusing with ordering especially when there's a lot of people (we were there on a Saturday night). The line can get long. The menu is on the wall and there were several choices of noodles, congee and dimsum and drinks too.The order took a while as there was a big crowd celebrating a birthday. The congee with pork floss and spam is a hit for my 3yo. The fried rice was also good. The dimsum was ok. They have tables and stools and it can get noisy and crowded depending on the number of people inside the restaurant.They have outdoor space too where you can enjoy your food.

The Night Market has a cool concept and the name really popped out to me. There is not much service here, you look at the menus on the walls and order at the counter, then you pick up your order on the pick up counter on the side. There are some tables with stools - inside and outside, it really gives it that night market/street food vibe in Asia. They have multiple different kinds of Chinese food from boxed rice to dim sum/buns to noodles to bbq skewers, and they even have boba drinks, soft serves, and other desserts. I only tried the jasmine milk tea with boba, since I already had lunch prior to coming, so this review is solely based on that drink and my experience. The milk tea was eh, it was a bit bitter with very light creaminess to it with a weird aftertaste to it (turmeric like taste?). I would have to come back to try their food to give them an updated review next time. Overall, I would say the drink would give it a 1 star or 2 stars, but 3 stars in general for the ambience/vibe.
